J24 Resourcing appeals after Derby Council rejected their children’s home plan. Residents cited police visits and disturbances.
This appeal means the council’s denial could change. The company might still get permission. It all depends on what happens next. Someone will review the case details.
Last November, the council voted against the home. Residents complained about the property and said police visited often. Loud noises and arguments happened regularly.
People claimed the property was already a children’s home and alleged it housed one child without permission. They also mentioned there was frequent trouble.
The company disagrees with these claims. They say police did not arrive with sirens and believe objections were not about planning rules. A government inspector will decide.
The company says police only came when they called, and it was without emergency lights. They argue issues can be handled different ways.
They helped the council with emergency care for a child and submitted a request soon after. They allege people disrupted their presentation at a meeting.
The council meeting is on YouTube, and the chair had to ask the audience to be quiet. Residents said the property causes many police arrests and mentioned violent issues.
Residents said furniture got smashed and that staff faced threats. People cheered when the plan was rejected. They felt recent disturbances heavily impacted their lives.
